Born into a legendary music family, Sheila E. was drawn to drumming and percussion from a very early age. Her father, Pete Escovedo, led bands that opened for The Temptations and other greats, and her uncles were Santana member and Azteca founder Coke Escovedo and The Dragons’ frontman Mario Escovedo. She performed her first onstage solo at age 15 and knew from that moment that performing music was her calling.
Sheila has played with Gloria Estefan, Beyoncé, and Jennifer Lopez. Her hit songs “The Glamorous Life” (nominated for two Grammy Awards) and “A Love Bizarre” garnered her even more acclaim and recognition as a multitalented musician: a drummer, percussion player, songwriter, singer, dancer, and dynamic performer. Rolling Stone counts her among the greatest drummers of all time, and now she’s teaching you how she claims the stage.

• Basic and complex drum beats

• Solos and fills

Metalhead right here, and man; nothing but respect! I would love to pick her brain sometime. She’s got that jazzy/bluesy/funk vibe; and that’s where heavy metal comes from! Hell yeah; thanks Sheila E!

Oh my God Sheila E. is everything!!! I was born January 1970 so during the 80s I was in my preteens and teens which is the best time to be in the 80s! I was obsessed with Sheila E.

Sheila E. is a living legend. I was a kid when I first saw and heard her play and I was entranced. To witness a woman playing drums back then wasn't as common as it is today and she didn't just play, she tore the house down! Idk if she even has a "style" since she can do it all and I think it blazed a huge trail for girls that wanted to bang on the drums like the boys. Easily in my top 5 of the best drummers.

[@melissaleoncreolenola]

The best teacher and instructoral wrapped up in one.... Shelia E is the best of the best baby
